SP: I was 3 years old when I started singing around the house. Mom couldn't believe it. She told me I'd hit these high screaming notes that would go right through her head. Poor thing, I must have driven her crazy. Later I made a living doing it. I love that!! I got the Journey Greatest Hits CD for my 14th birthday earlier this year, and it was my favorite gift.

Music is my favorite thing in the world. My first question is what is your reaction to a whole new generation of kids getting into your music? Also what do you do in your spare time? I like bowling and playing my guitar. Do what we did, keep listening to your old school music. I once read that you were into painting. Are you still doing this and are any on display or for sale?

SP: I have two of my favorite paintings of mine on my wall I'm pretty tough on myself. They are not for sale but that's an idea. Maybe a charity thing. You always look so handsome in them. No they are not Armani but they are some of my fave Euro-suits. It's really fun to dress up don't ya think? I like to get dressed up and go downtown for dinner.

It's just fun to look nice. It brings something out of ya! I'm about to buy myself another one or two for the Holidays. Thanks 29 At the beginning and end of the previously un-released song "Friends Of Mine" you can hear people talking as if they were at a club or having a meal together. Did you actually have your friends on that recording?

SP: Randy Goodrum's studio was too small for that so I recorded many times, myself and Randy talking and laughing about stuff and added real live recorded club conversation background to create the full sound of a live night club. I think it sounds cool. If you could choose one female artist to do a duet with, who would it be? They would be my first two choices.

If she was alive- Janis Joplin. You put your whole heart and soul in every song you sang, be it a power ballad or rock. My question: What type of mood or environment do you need to write such personal and beautiful lyrics? As many others have said, we can feel your voice, not just hear it. SP: Thank you so much for your kind words.

Anywhere- anytime it can happen. The female backup singers are amazing. Who are they and what was the inspiration for this awesome song? SP: They were "The Waters. So soulful and so sexy. The song was inspired by a girl I knew. We knew we had chemistry but she had another so we never explored it. So- the song was a fantasy about what would happen if we ever did a little bit of "Hoochie Koo" -Be it ever so slight- what happens if I "Can't Stop.

Since we are entering into the major holiday season, I was wondering, what's your favorite holiday? I hope you have a wonderful holiday. SP: I would say that Christmas would be my first favorite holiday then Thanksgiving. I love Christmas trees all lit up with tinsel. I'm old school on the tinsel. It makes the tree shimmer with the lights.

Christmas in Chicago and New York is very fun. Happy Holidays to you and yours, too!! What is the trait you most dislike in others? SP: In me Saying one thing and doing another. I think that's called SP: I regret not taking pictures with or hooking up with all the people we toured with. I was on a very vocally demanding tour schedule and didn't hang out much or talk after shows to anyone to rebuild my voice for the next show.

We miss you so much. Having appeared on a million stages around the world, have you ever gotten stage fright? If so, what do you do to overcome it? SP: I always had apprehension before walking on stage. It wasn't for fear of the crowd- It was the unpredictability of voice. You never really know till you open it up as to what you have. A voice is NOT a fret board on a guitar or keys on a piano or sticks in your hands slamming drums It's an unpredictable human, flesh instrument.

Once I would get out there and start singing- it would slowly warm up and at some point, I'd feel it kick in. You must have spent a lot of time going through the images deciding which ones to use. Was it fun looking back at all those great memories? SP: You have no idea how fun it was. I had never seen MANY of the photos before, so it was as new to me as it is to you.

My first big concert was Journey at the Rose Bowl in '82 and I was never the same again!!! Anyway, a friend of mine plays in a string quartet and told me that you were at a restaurant they play at and that you requested they play "Adagio For Strings. Does it hold a special meaning for you? SP: What a small world. Yes I was there and they were so good.

I could not remember the title so I sang the melody and they knew it immediately. I personally feel the arch of my whole life in that piece. It covers all the things that have happened and all that has yet to happen. My fave is one conducted by Leonard Bernstein. Please keep that location a secret between us for I do like going there for the food and your friends Quartet's music Pinky swear?

Pinky swear! For the past couple of weeks I find myself listening to your music every day. It puts me in a nice place, even in the office. So my question is: In stressful times what things would you do to put yourself in a better place? SP: Music in my car- driving anywhere by myself is a good thing for me. Any of my fave tunes will do. They sound so good that I get proud of them all over again!!

That feels good!! Do you still live in San Diego? SP: Del Mar is my track. I live just a bit north of San Diego where I walk on the beach every morning, coffee in hand on the So. I can't tell ya zactly where for reasons you know. Recently I was able to get my hands on an Escape LP that you autographed. Made my day believe me had to tell everyone!

I was just curious aside from various body parts, what has been the strangest thing you have ever autographed? SP: At a gas station a girl told me to wait, that she really had to get my autograph so I did- then she came out of the bathroom with her panties in her hand. The front of her thong was barely big enough to sign!!!!!!!! SP: I have two.

Any tropical island is amazing to me. The sunrises and sunsets- the water Oh yes Second- is anywhere on the highest mountain top. I mean really high. It's like heaven to be on a mountain above the clouds. I know it sounds arrogant to dig your own music but, I'm so proud of all of them Do you ever see yourself reuniting with Journey and doing a tour?

SP: Since May 8, we have been officially and legally no longer together. I'm fairly convinced we've gone our separate ways. I also know that nothing will ever take away the magic times and the music we made What have you been doing and do you feel as good as you look. SP: Thank you for that. It's been a personal thing. I've been working through some serious old issues that I never addressed before.

Well I'm feeling better about myself as a result of facing up to these issues and fears. Because of that- I'm now taking better care of myself. Thanks for noticing! What's your number? SP: "All you got to do is pick up the telephone. Please don't call! It must be a great feeling. There was a photo of you helping out on the Internet. Did you enjoy doing that?

So I walked over and said Hi! They gave me a hammer and nails and there you have it. Is this true? Or do you plan to do some recording in the very near future? SP: I received many of this same question….. I certainly lately have been wanting to record again.

Working with all these other groups and especially the GUFF recording has fueled the fire. What I want to say is I'm the biggest critic I could ever have to deal with, and that's why I don't pay attention to critics. SO- that being said- I think I'll sneak into a studio down here and see what comes out. At that time, I'll know what I have or not.

Thanks for all the years of love and support for me to sing, for in the end I sing for you! It brings back great memories of that tour for me as I saw 3 shows. SP: No other solo shows were recorded except that ONE song which was recorded off the live mixing board. I hope you enjoyed your 3 live shows Do you have more details on these books and how we can purchase them?

I play piano and would love to have these. There is a piano book and a guitar book. Not sure when Cherry Lane will release them. Do you have any plans to come to Japan for the promotion of the re-issued CDs which are planned to start to sell in December in Japan? We Japanese fans really want you come to visit Japan again!!! SP: Oh my Write Mr.

Udo and tell him you want to see me. Maybe he'll call. Thanks alot I was wondering if you speak Portuguese fluently now or when you were younger and if yes do you get an opportunity to use it? SP: Yes I speak Portuguese. Can't a girl be happy! There's a lot of people who think his voice is dead and gone, bull! At that time, I'll know what I have or not I for one would love to hear him sing again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Count me stupid for believing anyway. He'll have to do better then "see what comes out" for me to believe he's going to record. Later in the interview he says he has to "get to a recording studio first". So, obvously, IMO, all of the rumors of Perry recording were a bit over-zealous and premature. In fact, the Uncle Joe thing that was propped up here Like reading some people here Since there is no real give and take with Perry, you can't "get to know him" over time, so you have these snippets of "conversation" that are essentially one-sided and that makes it difficult.

You try not to read into anything, but it's tough not to do so because a lot of time, the answers don't seem all that complete. That's to be expected because he's certainly not going to write pages and pages for each answer though that would be nice , which would give him more opportunity to clarify. The questions that interested me most of course were the ones dealing with any potential involvement with Journey, Schon or the studio for his own work.

In each case, a door seems to be open, but I'll fight the temptation to dwell on it too much. Personally I enjoyed looking into the mind of the man apart form the singer. That being said It was still easy to over extend one's self musically in the studio to where live could be a problem Regarding recording shortcuts in the digital age - Well, first of all I HATE auto tuners on voices and today it's an epidemic I can't feel any emotion from a voice if it sounds like a horn on a Vespa.

I'm from the old school of sing it over and over until ya get it feeling right Then I can let it go as the best I got at that time and move on. Short cuts have hurt the quality of many recordings to the point that it's become a new sound that everyone has to have Reaching for honest performances I think is still the most timeless musical approach.

It's a very interesting mix of songs! I think his instincts to have "Little Girl" on the record were right The sequence is always a challenge GH2 was changed many times till it arrived at this final sequence I love this final running order now. Tempos, size of final mixes and keys of songs are just some of the considerations to getting the final running order feeling its best.

That gave me hope of the possibility of you "getting the itch" to release a new album or at least a single of your own. Any chance of this happening sometime in the near future? Please know that your faithful fans miss you and your wonderful voice very much! Yes I sang some Na Na's on her out chorus and it turned out really cool and was a lot of fun.

I hope to start recording some time soon I've had a few personal setbacks and am itching to get into the studio again. Thanks again. I'd also like to say it's been way to long since your last solo album. The world would be a better place with new music from you. We then used an external Apogee Clock cause the stereo imaging was the very best that way.

So they used a blend of old and new. Now the gram virgin vinyl is basically a more pure, cleaner Vinyl so you'll hear less grit as the needle tracks in the groove During quiet musical moments is where you can hear the biggest quality difference. It's "When I think Of You. I was starting to feel depressed again about losing Mom- So I decided to lie down for a while.

I had a dream that Mom had a gift shop and that she was so happy and doing fine and looking amazing She had been sick for so long that this was what I needed to know even if it was a dream. I later went to Jon Cain's and told him I wanted to write a song about this experience and started singing a melody and we finished it together. The song is very special to me because it's about Mom and all that she gave me to survive and when I miss her All I have to know is She's right here When I think if her I have never approached the few public figures I've seen because I feel it's an invasion of their privacy.
